That since the exhibition of my first schedule, the following changes have been made in my property.
On the 8. Aug. 1820, I sold 2 pine lots to Jacob Sheldon Jr. for ninety dollars, & rec d in payment a one horse dragon, & the remainder he paid a debt I owed to F. A. Fuller for me & a debt to said Sheldon.
On the 17. April 1823 I sold to David Hall Jr. one piece of land mentioned in second schedule for one hundred dollars, all of which was to pay my debts to Sarah Simonds & Co, James Porter & F. A. Fuller, & to purchase necessaries for my family.
On the 12. day of June 1823, I sold the home lot, & the right I held in an old house to Francis Stearns, for five hundred fifty dollars, to pay two hundred fifty dollars 88 cents to the Temple Ex. & Morris due to Stearns from me, & received his note for the balance, one hundred fifty six dollars & 36 cents payable the 1. day of May next, which I have pledged to Judge Williams & the Administrators of Mr. D. Smith Ex. for debts I owe them to nearly the amount of said note.
Old lumber sleigh sold John Barr for fifteen dollars on account between us, January 1821
Iron bed sold G. Merrill Esq. Apr 1823 on acct for $2.10
R. Peeples

A 2 year stone jug, sold Lyman Buck Jan'y. 1821 for 75 cts Watch sold to Charlotte Brunslee for ten dollars, Nov. 1822, to pay a debt due her from me
The other articles mentioned in said schedule are either worn out or destroyed or consumed in my family
The debt mentioned in my former schedule against Durand, of $116. and also the forty three or four dollars ought not to have been mentioned, because the debts were not mine, but received & receipted to ac- =count for if collected. I have been trying about 4 years by my best to collect them, but have not been able to collect a dollar yet - Durand has gone out of the country to parts unknown.
The debt of about $500. mentioned in the former schedule was due me from my son John Gordon (his name was not mentioned in my former schedule) He is wholly unable to pay me, & has an act of the legislature of Vermont freeing his body from arrest, and property he has none.
The demand against Col. Isaac Clark is also wholly lost, he having died before a final judgment, insolvent. I am yet indebted to the amount of fourteen hundred dollars, which I never expect to be able to pay. I am by profession a farmer, but unable to labor on account of bodily infirmities, having a bad break. My wife, aged 61 years, is in a decline - she has been unable to perform 'but little labor' for two years past, & I have been at great expense for her doctoring.

Pension Commissioners Washington, D. C.
Some time ago I wrote you asking for the record of a Revolutionary soldier, Samuel Gordon, of Wallingford Conn. - you sent me a record of a man of that name, but the two are not the same, the Samuel Gordon, who drew a pension in 1839, was the grandson of the man, whose record I wish.
The Connecticut records say Samuel Gordon appears as a private

in the French & Indian Wars, a private in War of the Revolution also a pensioner, also a Lieutenant of Trumbull in Volunteering Conn.
Will you kindly let me know if you have the record, this man died in 1793
Thanking you for your favor I am

Transp to New York 28 Aug. 1832 from 4 March 1832 and notification sent to Arch d Bull. Esq. Troy. N.Y. see letter Jan. 1840 to Alb. P. Ag t & J. P. Gove — Housatonic 14 th Octr 1840 File Mch. 19

Sam l Gordon was a Capt. in the late war. He states correctly as to the debt due me, which W. Slason has recovered - also as to the note he took capt. M. Slason for the bal. of $166.36 being pledged to judge Williams & the Adm rs of M c Smith eq. I am one of the Adm rs of Smith - On demand for which the note is pledged out to about $140. -
Capt. Gordon chooses to say that he lost his demand ag t Col. Isaac Clark, because he died insolvent. It is true Col. C. died insolvent, and it is equally true, in my opinion, that if he had died solvent, Capt. G. could not have recovered. His claim rec d wholly unfounded. I am one of the Executors of Col. C. we had a sharp controversy.
Capt. Gordon was poor when he was appointed Capt. in the late war, & has had no means of making money since. The affidavits of D r Porter of this place, & D r Winston of Pittsford, accompany this, which show the insolvency of Capt. G. & his wife to date. They are respectable physi- cians. Upon the whole I believe Capt. G. has become very poor, & I trust Mr. Belward will find no difficulty in restoring him.

Sir
Above is a copy of your answer to Esqr Govr by of Rutland, upon his application for the arrears of Samuel Gordon's Pension for the use of his wife Anna Gordon, and also for a pension on her own, from the time of his death in December last.
Mrs Gordon resides in Orangeville, Genesee Co. N.Y. In consequence of which Mr Gove sent me your letter, and instructions what course to pursue in order to establish her claims. In pursuance of the same I have procured from Connecticut the enclosed affidavits, which I suppose to be all that is necessary, except her own affidavit & Power of Attorney to me for the purpose of drawing the money. The form or blanks for the same Mr Gove advises me will be sent to me as soon as my application reaches you, sending at the same time a copy of your letter.
I would here state that Mrs Gordon is so infirm, and has so far lost her reason as to be incompetent to appoint

an attorny or make an affidavit understanding with  before you this fact, you will of course make such suggestions in your answer to me as will supply this deficiency, under the Pension laws -
The friends of Mrs Gordon are anxious that there should be no delay in obtaining the money as she is entirely dependant on them for support and hope you will give the application your immediate attention -

Rutland Vt. 10 Jan'y 1840
Sir
Annexed is an affidavit which I transmit at the request of the gentleman who has deposed to it, and for the benefit of his grandmother who is now residing with her children in Western New York.
I have been acquainted with Mr. Gordon & his wife for upwards of 20 years past, and well know, that no legal separation of the marriage contract ever took place between them. They cohabited together many years in this State — raised a family of 5 or 6 children — two or three of whom now survive — all of whom were reputable & worthy citizens. Mrs. Gordon is a worthy woman, and seems to have deserved a better fate. About the time, however, that Gordon was transferred from this agency to that of New York, he took with him a female of questionable moral character, & has cohabited with her in Troy, ever since, but without being married to her. His intercourse with his children has been of course suspended since that time.
The object of this communication is, to advise the Pension Department of the true state of the case, in order that Mrs. Gordon's rights relative to the arrears of her husband's pension may not be forestalled by an application of the female above mentioned who probably has the custody of the pension certificate, & may claim to be the lawful wife of said Gordon. Her name when living in this vicinity was Charlotte  Lilly Crumbey — what name she may now assume, it is impossible to say — at any rate, she is not & never has been the lawful wife of Gordon. Whenever application shall be made for the arrears of the pension, it will probably be done from that part of New York in Genesee Co. where Mrs. Gordon is residing. Allow me, as a friend to the old lady, to express the hope that the agent at Albany will be advised of these facts, & directed not to pay to the Trojan woman.
I am very respectfully
Levi Gove
To the Commissioners of Pensions, City of Washington

I, Frederick A. Fuller, of Rutland in the County of Rutland and State of Vermont, do depose, testify, and say, that M m Anna Gordon, now residing at Orangeville in the County of Genessee in the State of New York, was, until his death which recently occurred in Troy in the County of Rensselaer in said State of New York, the lawful wife of Samuel Gordon, a revolutionary pensioner of the United States at the rate of 96 dollars per annum, late of said Troy, deceased; and that the said Anna Gordon, if now in life, is his widow. And I further depose and say, that the said Samuel and Anna were my grand-parents on my mother's side; that according to thir own account, it is now about 58 or 59 years, or thereabouts, since they were married; and that the bonds of matrimony have never been dissolved between them. I further depose and say, that I have seen the death of the said Samuel announced in the newspapers as having taken place at said Troy on or about the 24 th day of December, 1839. I am now 26 years of age.
